many times I find myself in situations where I’m on some computer which is totally isolated - friends computer, completely newly installed (VM), some corporate remote desktop where I can’t install anything — and I need to transfer some information to this computer.

Ideally what I would have is:

• some sort of web chat
• self hosted (so that I can spin it up only when I need it, and that I can “destroy” all the data after each session)
• simple URL where you specify a room name edit it (eg.: domain.com/qck-321)
• on open you specify username (no other authentication)
• first person who joins needs to confirm all the others (so people can’t just “drop in”)
• no fancy technology (web sockets,…)

what I found so far:

• https://tlk.io/ - quite close but not all points
• https://chitchatter.im/ - this one is quite promising but unfortunately it failed me on first windows remote machine (probably due to some firewall rule)

I’m more that prepared to develop something my self but first I would like to check if there is really nothing out there to solve this.

Bonus question- do you have any other approach - how do you transfer (potentially sensitive) information to a “isolated” machine?

hello, I have a same setup for (at least) 3 years now: Mikrotik hAP ac lite Android Mi A2 and then I enable USB tethering on the phone. For some reason now on phone USB tethering is disabled (grayed out).

Additional notes and what I tried:

• USB cable is good, if I connect to PC “tethering” is enabled
• during previous working time and now I lend MT to I friend and he updated it to v7
• before that I also made a backup of my setup
• FWs I tried (nothing works)
  • v6
  • v7
  • v7 beta
• On phone a see that last update was in 2021 and there is no other updates
• also phone was completely restarted/formated

Any ideas what else I could try or how can I debug

Hello I just moved (from Brave) to Vivaldi and I have to say I quite like it.

But I have also quite a big blocker.

I use my browser with two profiles (this I was able to also do in Vivaldi) but I want to use some sort of shortcuts to switch between two Vivaldi windows (each running it own profile).

On Brave (or Chrome) I was able to do this by setting name of the browser and together with Context (window switcher) I just wrote 3 letters of the name and I was moved to that window. But now I just see [Title of the curent tab] - Vivaldi for all of them.

Is there a way (can be some other, using some other software) to switch to a specific window which is running specific Profile?

Here is my setup:

• I have two proxmox installations (totally not related) on totally different locations
• on both instances I have a few CTs and VMs
• on both instances I run "backup job" where I create backup to a external USB drive - this is a "first" backup from where I can quickly restore if needed

What I want:

• I want to have a separate (off-site) backup
• I have Raspberry PI with 5TB USB storage
• I want to use this raspi for both Proxmoxs

What would be the best solution for this?

What I was thinking (I don't think this is the most elegant solution):

• install tailscale on raspi
  • (same on both proxmoxs)
  • create CT and install tailscale on it
  • in some interval push backup file form proxmox to CT and then this CT pushes backup over tailscale to raspi

edit: spelling

Problem: I scroll on lemmy, I talk to friends, I see some interesting page, project, funny meme or something else. (when I was on reddit i pressed SAVE, when I was on Instagram I pressed PIN (or something) and now I’m stuck with (uncategorised) information all over the place.

My current idea is: push everything to Telegram group where my bot listens, take the URL, maybe even extract some data and save it somewhere. 90% of my input will be over the phone but here and there also PC.

Any suggestions for self-hosted service to dump data in our (even better) to even skip whole bot part altogether?

UPDATE: Maybe I was a bit unclear. I want to "save" URLs and also somehow tag/categorize them. So I think plain bookmarks won't cut it, also flow is important (on mobile), switching copy/paste is to much hassle.

Lemmy is great!

I subscribed to X number of communities.

I have a "home screen" set to: Subscribed, Hot

But then I have my feed and what I would like is to somehow "read" post (maybe just a title, maybe click and read whole, maybe upvote, maybe downvote). The problem is that I can "hide" post only be up/down vote or click on it.

Is this I problem or do I using feed wrong?

What I image to be good is have like mark-as-read button which hides post, so that I can get new ones.

Did anyone tried this? If so - what are results?
